Summer: in review // Fall: look ahead

  

  

  

With the beautiful warm days of summer officially behind us, I wanted to take a moment to round-up my favorites from the past few months.  Off-the-shoulder tops were on repeat, as well as palm/botanical and floral prints.  I jumped on both trends.  

Now, i'm looking forward to cooler days ahead filled with: 

• -- pumpkins
• -- scarfs, and more scarfs
• -- apple picking (cider donuts, duh)
• -- chunky sweaters (lusting over this one)
• -- apple cider sangria, served in this beautiful dispenser)
• -- Friends-giving  //  deep fried meats
• -- Halloween (and last-minute halloween costumes)
• -- puppies
• -- football sundays (i'm dying to make this queso)
• -- seasonal candles (this scent is currently on my mantle)
• -- lots and lots of layers
• -- and of-course boots!  

Thanks for stopping by,

Boots, Booties

Its the most wonderful time of the year... BOOT SEASON!  I've rounded up some of my favorites from years past, as well as some new pairs I'm coveting this Fall.  It may be a little pre-mature to start thinking about snow boots, but these Sorels were quick to sellout last year.  I'm also loving these new Sorel wedge booties and this red option (both waterproof).

Nordstrom Gift Card Giveaway

Today, I've teamed up with some fabulous bloggers to bring you a $300 Nordstrom Gift card give away!  Simply follow the instructions below (there are many ways to enter!).  Good luck!  

Speaking of Nordstrom, I snagged this dress last month at their Anniversary sale (see my other anniversary sale picks here).  For whatever reason, I always gravitate towards black, pink and leopard.  Maybe its the edgy vibe of the leopard contrasted with the girly hints of pink, either way its one of my favorites:  see casual and jumpsuit.
